FOMC minutes land today, CPI and bank earnings follow
TL;DR
FOMC minutes from the June 17 meeting, which held the federal funds rate at 3.50%–3.75%, release Wednesday, July 8, at 2:00 p.m. ET.
June CPI lands Tuesday, July 14, followed by PPI on July 15 and retail sales on July 16, all ahead of the July 28–29 FOMC meeting.
JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs report Q2 earnings on July 14, the same morning as CPI.
Two Deribit options expiries (July 10 and July 17) round out the volatility backdrop for BTC and ETH on Kraken Pro.
This rapid-fire data reporting doesn’t guarantee a particular market reaction, but the clustering itself is worth structuring around. Active traders should treat July 8 through 17 as concentrated event risk rather than a single catalyst.
